Good news and bad. I took the coin to a local shop with 3 knowledgeable guys working there. All agreed that the coin was a genuine 3 leg, but...
Wow, a "stampede" of responses. I was planning on sending it in for authentication. Comparing to a regular 1937D: the e pluribus unum does...
I always wanted one of these. Got this on the bay at a price I could afford. All the tiny scratches have me concerned though, as does the body...
Here is the best I could muster with my limited photography skills and old camera. The scratch is under the CA in America. Please pardon the...
Don't most, if not all, older coins have a scratch or two of some sort? Especially non mint state coins. I have a really nice double eagle with...
Last month I got 2 silvers in one day. The first was a 1936 quarter that I found in the pop machine coin return at work. Didn't buy a pop, but...
When I was a little kid I was on a cruise ship snorkeling excursion and I saw a gold object about 20 feet down. I swam down and retrieved it and...
That is what I thought, then he said "well, you only paid 50 cents for it"
I had a dealer tell me he would give me 80 cents for a 40% silver half.
I thank my lucky stars that I didn't win any of those "bargain" ebay early dollars that I had bid on. I found cointalk just in time!
Sorry, no better. I think these are the best my old camera can do.

Doesn't have to be mint state, just hoping. Luster looks good to me, but I am new to this. I know what you mean about a lot of the ms60-62, I...
Thanks toad, nothing like the feeling of owning a BIG hunk of gold. I'll try for some better pics tommorrow, but these were the best of 20 or so...
I could see this becoming a real threat to our hobby. What happens if the fakes become so good that even the tpg's can't even tell the...
Hi, I always wanted one of these. It was sold as brilliant uncirculated. Looks like it to me. Any estimations of grade? I'd be happy with a ms-61....
All these coins look pretty good to me - I would have been had. I guess I should never buy another coin again.
So when is a scratch objectionable, and when is it not? Don't most older circulated coins have a scratch or two? How come they don't just knock...
How can I buy a bag of this to sift through?
I just got 2 in one day - a silver quarter in the coin return for the pop machine at work. I didn't even by a pop, just noticed it as I walked...
